🇮🇪 Ireland recipe
Potato Soup
Potato soup is the soup of rural Ireland, a recipe that turns the humblest of ingredients into something genuinely delicious. It is closely related to the classic potato and leek soup, and when served chilled becomes vichyssoise, but in Ireland it is always served piping hot with a swirl of cream and a scatter of chives. The potatoes break down as they cook to create a naturally thick, velvety soup that needs no flour or thickener. It is the very definition of frugal cooking elevated to an art form.
